This is posted by one of the Chinese casters involved in running Kung Fu Cup, Master's Coliseum etc. If they aren't launching until April I'm sure they will announce something properly soon, but until then they probably just want to keep you guys in the loop, which is nice considering most Chinese events don't tell us much. But I'm pretty sure you can look at this as an "it's happening" thing

per season 290k rmb probably.TSG➡️TSGamingsome teams mainly manage LOL PUBG and DOTA.Sorry I don't know them clearly.I am a common Chinese SC2 fan.SCboy planed a Proleague-like tournement since May.2018.They did a lot for this tournement. SCboys are not only the most popular casts in China but also senior e-sports employees in China.I think this tournement is well-prepared

Keeping my fingers crossed here and hoping for the best. This is the kind of boost we can really use right now, and if things are handled properly and professionally with a decent amount of publicity beforehand, I could really see this bringing in a lot of new people to the SC2 community, specifically from China!

If anyone does not know it, this poster himself, is Huang Xudong, nickname "Xiaose", one of the Chinese caster group "SCBoy", who dominate more than 90% of SC2 casting in China and they are an official Blizzard SC2 announcer. He is also the organizer and sponsor of the weekly Kung Fu Cup and Master Coliseum. He has been talked about he was planning to launch a Chinese team league also involves foreign teams and players in his stream for months. He also worked hard to persuade some Chinese e-sport clubs focus on other games to open their SC2 division. Some Korean players, like parting, fantansy, and solar, have already joined a Chinese teamSince he posted this information himself on TL, I trust him and I believe the preparation is about done. I hope everything would go well and looking forward.

By the way, TSG (Triumphant Song Gaming), a Chinese e-sport club focus on League of Legend, announces the open of its Starctaft 2 division today. The Chinese Cloudy (as manager), Apologize, Hickok, and Korean Solar and herO are the founding members.https://www.weibo.com/u/6262205010

I hope the organisers could put more effort into raising production quality which has historically been notorious for Chinese tournaments. It would be a shame if you have great players and sponsors but the production couldn't keep up.

The production is not targeted at a global audience. Just enjoy it for what it is.

Chinese Events organisers do not really have too much interest in attracting overseas audience from my experience. Just at the moment there is NEXT offline tournament of Korean players and Chinese players going on you cannot even find a post of it here.

I guess it takes some time for Chinese to improve both their event production quality and pro-gamer's competence. Anyway, they are interested in SC2 and would love to invest in this right now, which definitely benefits the community. And if more and more top teams and players join the pro-league, castings for overseas audience won't be a problem. The only problem is time difference

It's been confirmed by neotv's (one of the league's operator and organizer) editor that Psistorm will join the league several days ago.Also, scboy's wechat account just announced that they received an official email from Jin Air that they are willing to participate as well, which would be the 8th, or the last team to join the league's first season.

if you think Chinese events should be better advertised in the west no one is stopping you from making your own personal contacts in Chinese SC2 and helping them get the word out, or at minimum contacting Chinese SC2 ambassadors on social media and expressing your interest so they know there's someone to advertise to

As what I know, originally this tournament is organized by Chinese, sponsored by Chinese companies, played by Chinese teams, the goal is to raise the level of Chinese players and the main viewer would be Chinese viewers. Since there isn't enough Chinese players at professional level, some Chinese teams recruit non-Chinese foreigners to compete the tournament. Then the organizers decided to open up globally and some foreigner teams had interest to join.
